Stepped out four balls and might have been waiting for the short one. It came and he snatched at it, trying to hit it too hard.

Length ball just outside off, pushed past silly point and takes a walk down the pitch. Kohli sprints to his left at cover and turns around from the right before he picks the ball up. In the process he's taken out a few seconds because as soon as his full rotation is complete, the ball is out of his hands. And then it hits the stumps on the bounce. Sharp, sharp stuff. And the exact opposite from the batsman, who is walking back with no vigour. A shame for a well-fought innings to end that way 177/6
